The Northern Tier has been the location for great bike adventures for a quarter of a century, following a wonderfully diverse cross section of the North American continent. The coastal beginning and ending points of Bar Harbor, Maine, and Anacortes, Washington, receive approximately 50 inches of precipitation each year. The landforms, flora, and fauna change continually throughout this trip. You’ll experience the lovely, sun-dappled hardwood forests of New England, pedal through the glimmering lake country of the upper Midwest, and be intoxicated by the haunting, fern-rich rainforests of the western Cascades.

Enjoy the added ease of luggage support as you travel with a close-knit group of cyclists on this three-month adventure. Grab your bike and make this your year to ride across the Northern Tier!
